Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical scanning device for scanning an information track of an optically scannable information carrier, which scanning device is provided with a radiation source, an optical lens system with an optical axis for focusing a radiation beam supplied, in operation, by the radiation source into a scanning spot on the information carrier, and an actuator for displacing the lens system relatively to a basic part of the scanning device in a direction parallel to the optical axis, the actuator being provided with an electric coil arranged around the lens system, which electric coil is provided with wire portions which extend substantially perpendicularly to the optical axis and, viewed in a direction parallel to the optical axis, are arranged next to one another, and which coil is also provided with a passage for a radiation beam path extending substantially perpendicularly to the optical axis.
  • the invention also relates to an optical player comprising a table which can be rotated about an axis of rotation, an optical scanning device including an optical lens system for scanning an information track of an optically scannable information carrier which can be placed on the table, and a displacement device by means of which at least the lens system of the scanning device can be displaced, in operation, with respect to the axis of rotation mainly in a radial direction.
  • the lens system can be displaced relatively to the basic part in a direction parallel to the optical axis, so that the radiation beam is focused on the information carrier to be scanned. Since the radiation source is secured to the stationary frame, a mass to be displaced by means of the actuator in a direction parallel to the optical axis, and a mass to be displaced by means of the displacement device in the radial direction are limited substantially, while, in addition, the dimensions of said masses to be displaced are limited substantially.
  • the electric coil of the actuator has rectangular windings which each comprise two opposite first wire portions and two opposite second wire portions.
  • the coil has to be manufactured first in a separate phase, whereafter the coil is provided around the lens system.
  • the first wire portions of the coil are glued onto an upper side of a holder of the lens system, said upper side, in operation, facing the information carrier.
  • the two second wire portions of each winding are bent so as to be at right angles with respect to the first wire portions and glued onto two opposing side faces of the holder.
  • the second wire portions which in the position thus obtained extend substantially perpendicularly to the optical axis and, viewed in a direction parallel to the optical axis, are arranged next to one another, cooperate, in operation, with a magnetic circuit which is attached to the basic part.
  • the magnetic circuit At the location of the second wire portions, the magnetic circuit generates a magnetic field which is directed substantially perpendicularly to the second wire portions and perpendicularly to the optical axis, so that by the cooperation between the magnetic field and a current in the coil a Lorentz force is generated which is directed substantially parallel to the optical axis.
  • the passage in the coil for the radiation beam path is obtained in that the first wire portions of the coil are situated on the above-mentioned upper side of the holder, and the second wire portions of the coil are situated on the above-mentioned side faces of the holder, said passage being situated between the two side faces of the holder.
  • the radiation beam path and the mirror can be arranged, viewed in a direction parallel to the optical axis, in the direct vicinity of the lens system, so that the dimensions of the known scanning device, viewed in a direction parallel to the optical axis, are limited substantially.
  • a drawback of the known optical scanning device and the known optical player resides in that the manufacture and provision of the electric coil of the actuator requires a relatively large number of process steps.
  • an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the electric coil is provided around the lens system by means of a winding process, the passage in the coil being formed by bending further wire portions of the coil, which are situated near the radiation beam path, in a direction substantially parallel to the optical axis.
  • an optical player in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the optical scanning device employed therein is an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention.
  • the coil of the optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is provided around the lens system by means of a winding process, said coil is not manufactured first in a separate phase, during the manufacture of the scanning device, before it is provided around the lens system, but instead, during the manufacture of the coil by means of the winding process, the coil is also provided around the lens system.
  • the number of necessary process steps to manufacture the scanning device is reduced. Since the passage in the coil is formed by bending further wire portions of the coil which are situated near the radiation beam path, only a relatively small part of the coil is bent during the manufacture of the scanning device, so that the manufacture of the coil is simplified.
  • a particular embodiment of an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the further wire portions of the coil are bent in said direction during the winding process by means of a mandrel which, during the winding process, is arranged in the passage.
  • the number of necessary process steps in the manufacture of the scanning device is further reduced in that the passage in the coil is already provided during the winding process.
  • the mandrel has, for example, a smooth, rounded guide surface which is obliquely arranged with respect to the optical axis.
  • the further wire portions of the coil slide over the guide surface of the mandrel, under the influence of a tensile force present in the coil wires, in an oblique direction with respect to the optical axis, so that the further wire portions are bent in a simple and accurate manner in a direction substantially parallel to the optical axis, resulting in the formation of the passage in the coil.
  • a further embodiment of an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the further wire portions of the coil are bent in the above-mentioned direction after the winding process. Since, in this further embodiment, the further wire portions are bent after the winding process, the winding process for manufacturing and providing the coil is substantially simplified.
  • Yet another embodiment of an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the coil is wound in a coil holder which is attached to the lens system and which is provided, near the passage, with a curved seating for the further wire portions of the coil. Said curved seating enables the further wire portions to be more accurately positioned, during bending, around the passage to be formed.
  • a particular embodiment of an optical scanning device in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the scanning device is provided with a further actuator for displacing the lens system relatively to the basic part in a radial direction at right angles to the optical axis and at right angles to the information track to be scanned, the further actuator being provided with two electric coils which, viewed in the radial direction, are provided on either side of the lens system, and the radiation beam path extending substantially at right angles to the radial direction between the two coils of the further actuator, while the radiation source is attached to the basic part.
  • the lens system can be accurately positioned in the radial direction during scanning the information track, so that said information track is accurately followed by the scanning device.
  • both coils of the further actuator are situated, viewed in the radial direction, on either side of the lens system, and the radiation beam path extends, substantially perpendicularly to the radial direction, between the two coils, the coils of the further actuator are situated outside the radiation beam path, so that the shape and dimensions of these coils do not have to be adapted to the position of the radiation beam path.
